Thankful for the Very Big Bird

Gandalf was very thankful for a very big bird, but not a turkey, the great eagle Gwaihir... although I wouldn't put it past Bombur to try to eat him, and luckily I don't think The Shire celebrated Thanksgiving.

I saved my favorite of the recent Mithril Miniatures, Lord of the Rings large minis & scenes for last:

Gandalf & Gwaihir:

I really enjoyed painting this one.

Mithril has such graceful lines to their sculpts, and this one is just beautiful.

This was my favorite from this Tolkien project, and my favorite to paint too.

Sam: it seems i rarely leave colors alone, tending to blend from several, but I started with a light color, Reaper Master Series Sandy Brown & the triad around it, going darker mixing in P3 Bloodstone and Valeijo Burnt Umber

Old Fogey: Thanks, me too. I do like a lot of the GW Tolkien minis, but I'm also a fan of the Mithril. I love their Gandalf, their elves & orcs especially.
